Oh, that’s a classic time‑loop quirk. If you step on the same tile twice, the game effectively toggles a flag that flips the state of any objects in that area. The logic is essentially a binary toggle—hit once sets the flag to 1, hit again sets it back to 0. It’s like a bit‑wise XOR that depends on your position count modulo two. The paradox comes in when the puzzle’s solution relies on the difference between the two states, so you have to think in terms of state transitions rather than linear progress. The key is to map out the state space, note the conditions that trigger the flip, and then construct a minimal path that guarantees the desired state when you reach the goal. It’s a neat little example of a deterministic finite automaton in a tiny game engine.

Glad you’re digging the same way—toggling bits and mapping state machines is a thrill. If you find another puzzle that flips on revisit, send it my way; I’ll line up the transitions and see what paradox pops up. Just keep that patience meter up; the deeper the engine, the trickier the logic.
